Best response dynamics improve sustainability and equity outcomes in common-pool resources problems, compared to imitation dynamics
Farahbakhsh, Isaiah; Bauch, Chris T.; Anand, Madhur (Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2021-01-21)Shared resource extraction among profit-seeking individuals involves a tension between individual benefit and the collective well-being represented by the persistence of the resource. Many game theoretic models explore ... -
Carrot Or Stick? Modelling How Landowner Behavioural Responses Can Cause Incentive-Based Forest Governance To Backfire
Henderson, Kirsten A.; Anand, Madhur; Bauch, Chris T. (Public Library of Science, 2013-10-30)Mitigating the negative impacts of declining worldwide forest cover remains a significant socio-ecological challenge, due to the dominant role of human decision-making. Here we use a Markov chain model of land-use dynamics ... -
Competition Between Injunctive Social Norms And Conservation Priorities Gives Rise To Complex Dynamics In A Model Of Forest Growth And Opinion Dynamics
Sigdel, Ram P.; Anand, Madhur; Bauch, Chris T. (Elsevier, 2017-11-07)Human and environmental systems are often treated as existing in isolation from one another, whereas in fact they are often two parts of a single, coupled human-environment system. Developing theoretical models of coupled ... -
Convergence of socio-ecological dynamics in disparate ecological systems under strong coupling to human social systems
Sigdel, Ram P.; Anand, Madhur; Bauch, Chris T. (2018-04-06)It is widely recognized that coupled socio-ecological dynamics can be qualitatively different from the dynamics of social or ecological systems in isolation from one another. The influence of the type of ecological dynamics ... -
Coupled Human-Environment Dynamics Of Forest Pest Spread And Control In A Multi-Patch, Stochastic Setting
Ali, Qasim; Bauch, Chris T.; Anand, Madhur (Public Library of Science, 2015-10-02)Background The transportation of camp firewood infested by non-native forest pests such as Asian long-horned beetle (ALB) and emerald ash borer (EAB) has severe impacts on North American forests. Once invasive forest pests ... -
Coupling Fishery Dynamics, Human Health And Social Learning In A Model Of Fish-Borne Pollution Exposure
Yodzis, Michael; Bauch, Chris T.; Anand, Madhur (Springer, 2016-03-01)Pollution-induced illnesses are caused by toxicants that result from human activity and are often entirely preventable. However, where industrial priorities have undermined responsible governance, exposed populations must ... -
Dynamics Of The Global Wheat Trade Network And Resilience To Shocks
Fair, Kathyrn R.; Bauch, Chris T.; Anand, Madhur (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08-03)Agri-food trade networks are increasingly vital to human well-being in a globalising world. Models can help us gain insights into trade network dynamics and predict how they might respond to future disturbances such as ... -
Global Land Use Implications of Dietary Trends
Rizvi, Sarah; Pagnutti, Chris; Fraser, Evan; Bauch, Chris T.; Anand, Madhur (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2017-09-28)Global food security and agricultural land management represent two urgent and intimately related challenges that humans must face. We quantify the changes in the global agricultural land footprint if the world were to ... -
Global land use implications of dietary trends
Rizvi, Sarah; Pagnutti, Chris; Fraser, Evan; Bauch, Chris T.; Anand, Madhur (PLOS One, 2018-08-08)Global food security and agricultural land management represent two urgent and intimately related challenges that humans must face. We quantify the changes in the global agricultural land footprint if the world were to ... -
The Impact Of Human-Environment Interactions On The Stability Of Forest-Grassland Mosaic Ecosystems
Innes, Clinton; Anand, Madhur; Bauch, Chris T. (Nature Publishing Group, 2013-09-19)Forest-grassland mosaic ecosystems can exhibit alternative stables states, whereby under the same environmental conditions, the ecosystem could equally well reside either in one state or another, depending on the initial ... -
Interconnections accelerate collapse in a socio-ecological metapopulation
Dockstader, Zachary; Bauch, Chris T.; Anand, Madhur (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2017-09-28)Resource over-exploitation can have profound effects on both ecosystems and the human populations residing in them. Models of population growth based on a depletable resources have been studied previously, but relatively ... -
Landowner Perceptions Of The Value Of Natural Forest And Natural Grassland In A Mosaic Ecosystem In Southern Brazil
Henderson, Kirsten A.; Reis, Mateus; Blanco, Carolina C.; Pillar, Valerio D.; Printes, Rodrigo C.; Bauch, Chris T.; Anand, Madhur (Springer, 2016-03-01)The forest-grassland mosaics of southern Brazil have been subject to many land use and policy changes over the decades. Like many grasslands around the world, the Campos grasslands are declining with few conservation efforts ... -
Modelling Interactions Between Forest Pest Invasions And Human Decisions Regarding Firewood Transport Restrictions
Barlow, Lee-Ann; Cecile, Jacob; Bauch, Chris T.; Anand, Madhur (Public Library of Science, 2014-04-15)The invasion of nonnative, wood-boring insects such as the Asian longhorned beetle (A. glabripennis) and the emerald ash borer (A. planipennis) is a serious ecological and economic threat to Canadian deciduous and mixed-wood ... -
Outlook On A Worldwide Forest Transition
Pagnutti, Chris; Bauch, Chris T.; Anand, Madhur (Public Library of Science, 2013-10-09)It is not clear whether a worldwide "forest transition" to net reforestation will ever occur, and the need to address the main driver-agriculture-is compelling. We present a mathematical model of land use dynamics based ... -
Socio-Ecological Dynamics Of Caribbean Coral Reef Ecosystems And Conservation Opinion Propagation
Thampi, Vivek A.; Anand, Madhur; Bauch, Chris T. (Nature Publishing Group, 2018-02-07)The Caribbean coral reef ecosystem has experienced a long history of deterioration due to various stressors. For instance, over-fishing of parrotfish - an important grazer of macroalgae that can prevent destructive overgrowth ... -
Spatial correlation as an early warning signal of regime shifts in a multiplex disease-behaviour network
Jentsch, Peter; Anand, Madhur; Bauch, Chris T. (Elsevier, 2018-07-07)Early warning signals of sudden regime shifts are a widely studied phenomenon for their ability to quantify a system’s proximity to a tipping point to a new and contrasting dynamical regime. However, this effect has been ...
